At the border
Carry the approved e-Visa with the same passport named on it. A copy on your phone or on paper helps if the border system is unavailable. Holders may enter through the border points open to them, including Dushanbe International Airport and Khujand International Airport.
Enter on a date inside the 90-day validity, and on or after the date printed on the visa. The GBAO permit is separate, and you enter that region on the date shown on the permit.
Questions
How long does the Tajikistan e-Visa form take?
Most people finish in about 15 to 20 minutes when the passport, portrait, and travel dates are ready. Processing after payment commonly takes about three business days. Apply about two weeks before you travel.
Can I apply for a Tajikistan e-Visa after I arrive?
No. Submit the form while you are outside Tajikistan. Work, study, and residence are not covered by this e-Visa. Those need a visa from a Tajik mission.
What files do I upload?
Upload a recent colour portrait in the photo field and a separate scan of the passport biodata page. Each file can be JPEG, PNG, or GIF, under 3 MB. Do not use the same file in both fields, and do not upload a PDF for those two fields.
Does a child need a separate application?
Yes. Each traveler, including each child, needs their own passport, portrait, biodata scan, and e-Visa. A child is not added to a parent's form.
Where do I see the fee?
The published amounts are on the fees page. The total for your application, including a GBAO permit when you add one, is shown before you pay.
How do I check the application after I submit it?
Use the reference number on the status page, or the email and passport number from the form. The approved e-Visa is sent by email. Carry it with the same passport.
